Yes, but when talking for example about Dune, this is clearly not the case. It seriously baffles my mind how anyone can read that tripe and be like "ye, that was a fluent read". You dont have to be Nabokov or Faulkner, I just want "prose" that isnt so fucking shit, that I'm reminded every 5-10 sentences that Im reading a shittily written book.

I have nothing against "simple" prose like Clarke uses, but I absolutely cannot tolerate reading something that ignores the "show dont tell"-guideline on nearly every fucking page of the book.

I dont even want to talk about the """""action"""""" """""scenes""""".
